| Bio: | I am the sum of all my ancestors both good and bad. I grew up near an ocean and rode a bike. I saw signs that said "Closed for the Duration". Where are they all now? Gone because they were paper? ( For the young among you, during World War 2, many stores were closed because there was no one in the family to run them. So, they were "Closed for the Duration". Which meant an unknown length of time. . .until the War was over) Then a bike, then cars and more cars, then bikes again, and France and some Friends. Not too many. My fault I guess. Lincoln Center, New York and places everywhere in my memories, Marriage and Children and time speeding away. And a new Marriage and time speeding even faster and Children with Children and now Grandchildren married and more Chidren. All the sums of all their ancestors, both good and bad. So now I am into the Eighth decade of life. I have had the cold stare of the Doctors twice telling me that "You have Cancer" I have done the radiation thing twice and the dastardly chemotherapy thing. Not fun. . . . At least I don't think it was. . . Hell, I don't even remember most of the 4 months of chemo. So now I am resolving to fight for all the fun and games I can get. My short term goal is to go on another bicycle vacation to France soon. Short of the Medical Police stopping me, that is my goal! This penchant of Earthlings, of all kinds, to make War, eat each other, subjugate each other for their own benefit sickens me. Call me a "Bleeding Heart", it's OK. I recently saw a video on the War Photography of James Nachtwey: http://www.amazon.com/War-Photographer-James-Nachtwey /dp/B0000C825I/ref=sr_1_2/103-6479626-5895019?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1185881280&sr=8-2 Stunning!! A casual quote of his during the film haunts me and I think I will use it, (attributed to James Nachtwey) "PHOTOGRAOHY IS THE OPPOSITE OF WAR" | |||||
